Hi everybody!  I too am a new Clipper Owner!  I've got a 21' 821-SKFC.  It was in decent shape, but still needs some fixin'!  Got my membership packet the other day and have been pouring through the Tech-Forum for all the good info!  I really love the fact that there's a club for these. I ride BMWs and really enjoy vehicle camaraderie and look forward to being able to make it to a Rally!

When I bought my Clipper, the guy said it was a '78, but I know from the engine stamp that it's built on a '77 chassis.  I have heard that it is common for RVs to be built on the previous year's chassis to be sold the following year.  Is there a stamp for the Coach that specifies which model year it is somewhere?

it is easy enough to check the year your clipper is registered as. look at the sixth digit of the vehicle id number. if it is seven, it is a 1977 model. if it is eight, it is a 1978 model. this works up to and including 1979 only. after that the vin changed to a 17 digit combination, and will be the tenth digit as the year with a letter code. a= 1980, b= 1981, etc. hope that helps.
